I never took them off, I only put the overlay under the rubber part of the rails. If you peel back the rubber part you can run the overlay in there.

Clear Kote has a product out called Vanilla Moose Glaze and it works great on the vinyl roof.
I have had mine on since March .. washed 50 + times and in 105F heat with no issues.

The weld strips on each side pop out easy for installation. Just use a block of wood and a hammer to tap then 1/2" forward from the rear . then there is 3 clips .. you roll them out of the clips by twisting them to the outside of the car.

You don't need to totally remove them.

Yes .. Glazes usually have a bit of cleaners in them and do a lot of filling of very minor imperfections like hazing .. In the case of the vinyl roof you apply it inthe shade and remove it with a very soft M/F towel.

Sorry to bump the thread, but how hard was it to install the overlay? Are there any shops in the NYC area who do this kinda stuff?

That is really cool- antenna should be wrapped too IMO, but for style the black roof is a nice way to set yourself apart. Nice that it isn't permanent in case you decide to do something else.

When I get my wheels I may try this out as well...

If I remember correctly some one tried to get an over lay on it and after several hours gave up. Getting the vinyl to sit smoothly on that sort of shape is a huge pain. I'm sure it can be done with enough time and patience.

Actually it was installed during aug. When summer is at it's worse. Temps hit 95 sometimes and it was always out in the sun. I had to lift up a piece to fix something and it came off right away. It's like any other vinyl sticker, its paper thin..

Again each to their own. If you want to spend 500+ bucks for someone to paint your roof correct then god bless you. If you want to spend 50 bucks and DIY I guess more power to you.

For anyone willing to do this on their own, here is a link on a DIY with batmobile overlay

http://auto.badtziscool.com/how-tos/...-roof-overlay/

"Install a roof overlay
Well. Here we are again. BlueBatmobile finally decided to make black roof overlays that many have requested. Again, a subtle but effective mod and it’s not permanent. That’s probably the best thing about vinyl overlays; you can always revert back if and when you feel like it. I will have to say though, this install really should be done with TWO people. I thought I was going to be a badass and do this all by myself and say that this was a piece of cake and that everyone and their mama can do it with one eye gouged out and the other blinded with fire ants and sugar, but that just wasn’t the case. I got it done, but I really wished I had another body.

And an extra three inches, but that’s another story. On with the install."

Click link to read more and see pictures.

Are they both going to be overlay? Having a real CF roof wing and a CF sticker on the roof will look real cheap. Ive only seen one picture of a good quality CF overlay. It's expensive but worth it.

Nothing cheap on my ride Gus, if I decided to do it, it will be the good stuff, it's like they say in spanish " Lo Barato Sale Caro" ( The cheap is usaully more expensive )
